Everyone should take this quiz. However, make sure you click on other stances besides just Yes/No, answer the additional questions beyond just the basic ones, and allow all candidates from all parties as an option so that they show up on the results -- not just the Democrats and Republicans. http://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz
In percentage of the issues I side with the candidates, I'm 89% Petersen (LP), 85% McAffe (LP), 82% Johnson (LP). These are the only three candidates I consider worthy of my support. As for the others: 76% Cruz (RP) 60% Sanders (DP), 59% Trump (RP), 56% Stein (GP), 44% Clinton (DP), and 43% Kasich (RP).

Noooo. Now I feel really bad. I didn't mean to offend you like that. I was actually shocked when you said you were not from America, and it did catch me off guard because I just feel strongly about the two-parties (which I know some of you disagree with). I thought you were a registered Democrat. I don't really like when an outsider comes in and tries to change things that the party does and it comfortable with for the most part of doing. It's one of the main reasons why I don't like Bernie running as a Democrat since he has been so anti-Democrat, pro-Independent for decades.
But you have brought a lot to this thread so I hope this doesn't change the way you are engaged in here. You have every right to state your opinions.

You're fine  glad we can be on the same page now!

While it matters little where anyone is from, let's remember too that he's spent a significant amount of time here and is obviously very interested in and passionate about American politics, and that's a great thing!
Also, @hecking, I feel like you'd be Green Party above anything else, just my own analysis  |
That's really nice of you, Noah! I'm glad I can give something back to the country that gave me a lot while I was there. 
And I do think I agree with your Green Party assessment so far, although I still haven't looked in depth into their ideologies, but I know they're further to the left of the Democratic party, and that's something I'm very comfortable with.

Brutal Anti-Cruz Attack Ad Just 30 Seconds Of Candidate’s Photo Displayed Without Any Text, Voiceover, Music

“It’s absolutely revolting, and I can’t believe they would run something like that on television,” said Dorothy Chalmers, a Dillsboro, NC mother who saw the ad with her three small children. “I immediately turned it off, of course, but I had to talk with my kids about what we had just seen. It was so nasty and unpleasant, my youngest one started to cry. Is this the kind of low-blow campaigning we can expect to endure through November?”

Yeah I was saying I think that potential power is fine

I edited the comment to clarify I would never vote vote for anyone but the Top 3. I don't trust Cruz's answers to the questions anyway. The edit was at 8:43, though I just put the RP by Kasich at 8:57.

These are probably the most interesting results I've ever come across. So do you consider yourself a Libertarian?

That's why I said to go beyond the simple yes/no & agree/disagree options and see what other choices there are, answer all of the questions and not just the basic questions (click on the arrow to open up the others), and allow all candidates to show up in the rankings. Despite being worlds apart economically, Sanders (and Green Party Candidate stein) actually show a committed effort to increasing and protecting personal freedoms here in the US. Sanders and Stein are almost identical. Clinton is probably just a little closer to me economically, but further apart in personal freedoms.

Lol! Yes, read my signature!  Rand was around 80% when he was on the quiz, and I consider Rand far more sincerely committed to freedom and liberty than Cruz. Sorry if my original answer was interpreted as rude and condescending. I didn't intend that, so I added to what I wrote.

I would completely throw my support behind Dr. Stein if I didn't know the stakes were too high to have another Nader/Gore situation in November. A Trump presidency is too dangerous for anyone to be risking it this cycle around.

My iSideWith results changed. Before McAfee wasn't showing up but now he's at 74%, between Hillary and Gary Johnson. Hillary and Jill are also both at 90% now.
